Number Of Ingredients 8
Steps:
- Cream butter and sugar.
- Add egg and mix well.
- Add grated lemon rind and dry ingredients.
- Add currants.
- Roll teaspoonfuls of mixture into balls and place on lightly greased baking tray.
- Press balls lightly with fork.
- (dip fork in flour and shake off excess).
- Bake 180'-190'C (Gas mark 4) for about 15-20 minutes- or until they are just slightly golden in colour- not browned.
Tips:
- Use fresh lemon zest. Fresh lemon zest has a brighter, more intense flavor than dried or bottled zest.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixed dough will be tough and dry. Mix the dough until it just comes together, then stop.
- Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough will help it hold its shape and prevent it from spreading too much in the oven.
- Bake the biscuits until they are lightly golden brown. If you bake them too long, they will be dry and crumbly.
- Serve the biscuits warm. Freshly baked lemon tea biscuits are best served warm, with butter, jam, or clotted cream.
Conclusion:
Lemon tea biscuits are a classic British tea time treat. They are easy to make, and they are always a hit with friends and family. With their delicate lemon flavor and light, flaky texture, lemon tea biscuits are the perfect accompaniment to a cup of tea. Whether you enjoy them plain, with butter, or with jam, lemon tea biscuits are sure to become a favorite in your home.
